400 leads a month and nothing closes

When 900 companies worldwide can buy your product, lead volume is the wrong metric entirely. Depth on named accounts is the only thing that works.

What's different here

Industrial B2B breaks every standard demand-generation assumption because the addressable market is tiny and the deal sizes are enormous. Generating hundreds of MQLs from a market of 900 companies means you're generating leads from people who cannot buy. The single highest-impact change we make in this vertical is usually killing broad lead generation entirely and replacing the success metric with target account engagement.

Vertical-specific tactics

What digital marketing looks like for industrial and manufacturing companies.

These are the plays that wouldn't appear on a generic digital marketing page — they only make sense in industrial & manufacturing.

01

Named-account list with fit and timing scoring

A scored list of companies who can actually buy, built from firmographic fit plus timing signals like capacity expansion, plant openings, and regulatory deadlines.

02

Account-specific landing experiences

Pages referencing the account's actual production environment and integration stack. It converts because it's specific — generic personalization tokens fool nobody in this market.

03

Engineering-grade content

Implementation guides, integration documentation, and ROI models built on real plant data. Technical buyers are actively hostile to thought-leadership framing and can tell instantly when specifications are wrong.

04

Shared account intelligence with sales

One dashboard showing engagement across every buying committee member, so sales knows when and why to reach out. Marketing and sales looking at different screens is the root cause of most industrial pipeline failures.

The constraints

What holds industrial and manufacturing companies back

01

Lead volume metrics are meaningless

Generating 400 MQLs is irrelevant when only 900 companies worldwide can buy your product. You need depth on the right accounts, not volume.

02

Long cycles, large committees

Six to eighteen month cycles with engineering, operations, procurement, and finance all involved. Each has different questions.

03

Your buyers don't read marketing content

Engineers want specifications, integration details, and real implementation data. Thought leadership fluff actively damages credibility.

04

Sales and marketing are disconnected

Marketing generates leads sales ignores; sales works accounts marketing knows nothing about. Neither has the full picture.

What's included

The full scope.

Everything in a digital marketing engagement, applied to industrial & manufacturing.

01

Full-funnel growth audit

Every channel, every step, mapped with real numbers. You'll see exactly where your funnel leaks before you sign anything.

02

Server-side conversion tracking

GA4 + server-side tagging + platform CAPIs, so you optimize to real conversions instead of platform guesses.

03

Paid acquisition management

Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok — structured, tested, and scaled against your actual CAC ceiling.

04

SEO & content engine

Topic clusters built around buying intent, published on a predictable cadence, internally linked to compound.

05

Lifecycle email & SMS

Welcome, nurture, abandoned cart, win-back, and reactivation flows that run whether or not you're spending on ads.

06

Conversion rate optimization

Continuous testing on the pages that matter most, so every channel gets more efficient at once.

07

Live revenue dashboard

One Looker Studio dashboard: spend, CAC, LTV, ROAS, pipeline, by channel, updated daily.

08

Weekly growth calls

No monthly PDF you never read. A working session every week with the people actually running your account.

The process

How this runs.

  1. Diagnose

    Weeks 1–2

    Two-week deep audit of analytics, ad accounts, funnel, and competitors. We deliver a written growth thesis with prioritized bets.

  2. Instrument

    Weeks 2–3

    Fix tracking first. Server-side events, conversion definitions, and dashboards — because you can't optimize what you can't measure.

  3. Unblock the constraint

    Weeks 3–6

    We attack the single biggest bottleneck first — usually conversion rate or offer, not traffic volume.

  4. Scale what works

    Month 2+

    Winning channels get budget and creative volume. Losers get cut fast. Decisions are made on data, weekly.

  5. Compound

    Month 4+

    Layer in the durable assets — SEO, email lists, retention — so your paid dependency drops quarter over quarter.

Questions

Industrial & Manufacturing questions, answered straight.

They're probably right, and the fix isn't better lead scoring — it's changing what you generate. We'd recommend stopping MQL reporting entirely and replacing it with target account engagement and pipeline contribution. That's uncomfortable internally because someone's metric disappears, and it's the change that makes sales trust marketing again.
